GUIDELINES AND REQUIREMENTS . IN ORDER TO GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL IN THE LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, EACH STUDENT MUST COMPLETE A SERVICE LEARNING PROJECT. A SERVICE LEARNING PROJECT IS DIFFERENT FROM A COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT. A SERVICE LEARNING PROJECT MUST BE BASED ON A NEED IN THE COMMUNITY. IT IS NOT BASED ON HOURS, BUT ON THE SIZE AND SCOPE OF THE PROJECT. EACH STUDENT WILL KEEP RECORDS OF THE PROJECT BY USING THE FORMS IN THIS MANUAL. A SERVICE LEARNING PROJECT TRULY GETS THE STUDENTS TO INTERACT WITH THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT.
